    You must ask in the Ask the Tutor Forum if you want me to answer – this forum is for students to help each other.

    (Have you watched my free lectures on mark-ups and margins, because I work through a very similar example in my lectures. The lectures are a complete free course for Paper F3 and cover everything needed to be able to pass the exam well.)
